Safe Homes Over Christmas:

• Use your Alarm, even when at home.
Over Christmas:
Put presents under the tree early on Christmas morning.
If you are expecting a parcel, make sure someone is there when it is delivered, or ask a neighbour to take it in. Avoid having it left on the door step.
Once you’ve opened your gifts, don’t leave the boxes on view outside to advertise your good fortune to criminals.
If you are travelling abroad for Christmas make sure that your home looks occupied or have a trusted neighbour calling in on a regular basis.
Superintendent Daniel Keane and all the staff of the Listowel Garda District wish the citizens of North Kerry a safe and peaceful Christmas.
